| Students in grades 7 and 8 may sign up to participate in oral interpretation. Oral Interpretation is the presentation of a piece of literature in front of judges. Presentations can be no longer than 10 minutes. Categories include humorous (funny short story), poetry, dramatic prose (serious short story), and dramatic (a cutting from a play). This activity gives students a chance to gain confidence and practice speaking abilities in front an audience. The season begins in February with finding a selection to present. Weekly practices with the adviser are required. Students may practice before or after school or during third period. Students attend one or two contests, one of which is held in Watertown on a Saturday in April. Students should watch the school announcements for a specific meeting to start the season or contact Mrs. Frost if they are interested in participating. | |

| Yearbook and Newspaper | |
| The school yearbook and newspaper are created in the Journalism class, which is a co-curricular course that students in grades 9-12 can earn one credit per year. Students learn journalism skills, the basics of computer layout and design, scanning photos and taking quality pictures. Students will be asked to do work outside of the class, such as soliciting yearbook advertisements from local businesses, reporting, taking pictures at activities/sporting events and working concession stands. | |
